More walking

 This is a very common scene in Japan. This old woman has come on a bicycle to take care of a little flower garden that she has planted on public land beside the road.
 This was sticking up beside the road. It is obviously a plant of some kind, but beyond that it is a mystery. I thought that these may be seed pods, but who knows?
One of the most common crimes in Japan is taking bicycles. Young people, in particular, take an unlock bicycle and ride it to where ever they are going. Some times rather than leaving on the street they will dump then into the grass beside the rivers.
